Chapter 049 -050

049:

Hearing Du Sitong say this, Lin Shu was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Game editor...... What is the meaning? ”

Du Sitong replied: "Isn't there a few games or mods uploaded to our website every day?" In the future, if the number increases, it will be difficult for users to find the mods they need, right? I mean, are we also going to hire a dedicated game editor to categorize, tag, and recommend games...... Just like some of the web editors of Fiction.com. ”

Lin Shu suddenly understood that what she was talking about was actually a game evaluator and a reviewer.

This position is also stored in the independent game trading platform many years later, but in a more complex form. Lin Shu replied: "This can be considered later, but it is not needed for the time being." However, category labels and leaderboards can be made first...... In addition, we can learn the coin system of some video sites, and issue tokens to users for the first login of the day, so that they can use these tokens to vote for their favorite games. At the same time, all users who have purchased a specific game can rate the game once after a period of time, and this comprehensive score and token voting can each make a leaderboard for players to use as a reference. ”

Du Sitong was confused and asked, "Is there any difference between the two lists?" ”

Lin Shu replied: "Yes, the former allows users to log in to our website every day for their favorite games, and the latter can enhance user stickiness, make their consumption more evidence-based, and more secure." ”

Du Sitong thought about it, and also figured it out, nodded, and said, "I understand." ”

After the rest of the people made work reports one after another, Lin Shu asked Bai Miao: "How is the contact with the painter?" ”

Bai Miao said: "Most of them are a little interested, but they are hesitant to come here to open a column, and they are still in a wait-and-see state." There are also people who are willing to come directly to try the water, but there are not too many. Too much of them are worried about the popularity of our side and worry about the waste of effort. ”

This is also expected, Lin Shu listened, his expression was calm, and he asked again: "What about drawing?" ”

Bai Miao suddenly smiled and replied neatly, "What's the problem with this!?" They must all be willing, they originally relied on this to make a living, how can there be a reason not to take a job? However, the timing should be communicated well in advance, and the intermediary is like this, and the main thing is to do this communication. ”

Lin Shu snorted, and then said: "The current situation is like this, I have new development plans to announce, and I may need to recruit some additional employees, and at the same time, transfer your positions." ”

Everyone behind the meeting screen was suddenly a little stunned.

Lin Shu didn't continue to talk on this topic, but asked Jing Hedao: "Brother Jing, tell me what you think about the current customer service department." Since you have put it forward, you should consider it and talk about your specific ideas. ”

Jing He paused to think before he spoke, "I think that in addition to me and Cindy, the customer service needs to add at least three to five people. Cindy is responsible for reviewing the game, so she shouldn't be counted in the shift, but she has to keep the customer service line open twenty-four hours a day, at least make sure that there are three shifts without intervals - I thought about the schedule of a few shifts, and I personally think the most suitable should be 6-14, 14-22, 22-6 and half of each of the three periods, one person in the morning and second half of the night should be able to deal with it, and a few more people need to be in line from the afternoon to the evening - that is the peak period for resting games. ”

Lin Shu said: "Teacher Du, remember it, this is worth considering." ”

Du Sitong suddenly hummed, and then began to knock on the notes.

But Lin Shu said to Jing He again: "But Brother Jing, have you thought about it, what is the main function of our current customer service?" ”

Jing He was stunned for a moment.

Ju Mingfeng thought: "It's here." ”

Jing He was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Do troubleshooting and technical assistance?" ”

After all, the game of the future will be a stand-alone machine, and the function of customer service is still a little different from that of online games. Lin Shu nodded and said, "That's right." Our customer service is different from online customer service, because the customer service of netizens may need to solve all aspects of the bug, but the stand-alone machine does not need to do this, and we have no way to interfere with the program in the player's computer, but only give technical support and troubleshooting when they have problems, so we don't need to open customer service 24 hours a day, because their problems are actually problems that do not need to be solved immediately. ”

Then Lin Shu continued: "And adding three to five customer service is really not cost-effective for us. After-sales service is indeed more important, but too many customer service people will make us spend too much in this area, and if these expenses are spent elsewhere, the cost performance will be higher. What's more, the customer service questions we ask every day can ensure that the customer service customers stay busy at least when they go to work? You know, in any company, if the manpower is idle, it is a waste of resources. ”

Jing He thought about it for a while, and felt that he was a little ill-considered, so he said: "However, from six to ten o'clock in the evening, I still need a customer service." ”

Lin Shu said: "I understand, I am also thinking about recruitment. ”

Then he asked Du Sitong: "Mr. Du wants to edit the website, right?" ”

Du Sitong said: "If I can, I think it would be better. ”

Lin Shu nodded and said, "Okay!" Then he said to Jing He, "Brother Jing, otherwise, we will recruit some people next, and we will discuss the specific number later." However, in this part, we recruit all technical personnel with communication skills or above, and fresh graduates are also available. We first let them serve as customer service technical consultants and game editors, that is, they will answer the phone when they have a phone, review the uploaded game if there is no phone, be responsible for communicating with the uploader, and deal with other technical issues and maintenance of the website. At the same time, we have established a voice classroom function, which openly answers various questions from registered users from 8 to 10 o'clock every day, as well as some simple game system process explanation and self-test process explanation courses. Is that okay? ”

In fact, Jing He was already very surprised, because Lin Shu's arrangement was simply comprehensive, which not only solved the problems he raised, but also improved the defects in his own construction.

And he thought about it carefully, and found that Lin Shu's arrangement was simply killing multiple birds with one stone, efficient and useful. At the same time, the job of reviewing and uploading games and answering users can quickly help newcomers confirm some problems, know some problems in the upload module and the difficulties encountered by the players themselves, so as to better understand the problems and situations of users, and the evening course can greatly reduce the workload of customer service, because some people may get answers from other people's questions in the process of queuing up to ask questions, in a sense, it can reduce some of the duplication of content.

Jing He immediately obeyed.

Lin Shu said again: "Brother Jing, you and Brother Zheng will arrange it together, and the two of them will cooperate." ”

Jing He and Zheng Fang Chengdu responded successively.

Then Lin Shu said: "Then there is the next development plan of the website. We have already talked about the publicity of various game platforms and forums, and then Mr. Du, I hope you can contact some well-known original novel websites in China, and then contact the official to discuss a business. ”

β€œοΌοΌŸβ€ Du Sitong was surprised for a moment and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Talk about the copyright of stand-alone games." Lin Shu said, "Contact a few well-known novel websites in China, and then find a group of novels with high popularity, characters and plots, and ask for the price of the adaptation rights of the single machine." Mr. Du, according to the situation, decide whether to talk about the authorization of the character or the full text, but the quotation of each person should not exceed 2,000, and the full text authorization should not exceed 20,000. Among them, if there are particularly good and popular ones, and the copyright fee is too high, take a step back and ask if you can authorize the adaptation of the same mod - that is, we make zuΓ² plot games for them, free, not commercial, and at the same time will be signed and promoted for them, but no copyright fees will be given, and we don't charge for ourselves, so users can download and play for free. ”

Du Sitong was shocked and asked, "What's in it for us?" ”

Lin Shu replied with a smile: "To attract some users by the popularity of the work, we only do the plot line in the free licensed game, and do not add additional gameplay mods, such as business development and combat strategy." All the story and character mods of the original work are free, which means that they can be disassembled and loaded into other games, and other paid function mods can also be loaded...... In this way, there will definitely be players who will buy some functional mods that they are interested in when playing free games to enhance the gameplay, and there will also be original players who will choose to download free mods to enhance the richness of the original mods. It's an alternative way of advertising. ”

After Du Sitong listened, it took a few seconds to digest before he understood what Lin Shu meant.

She opened her mouth and asked, "If the whole book is authorized 20,000 yuan, will it be too little?" The other party may not be willing to grant the free license. ”

Lin Shu replied, "Not a lot. Because the IP (intellectual copyright) adapted from stand-alone games is completely worthless, it is a complete buyer's market. ”

Du Sitong said: "How come? In the past two years, the price of IP has been rising, and the market for online articles is very hot. ”

"That's also divided into adaptation rights, Mr. Du." Lin Shu opened his mouth and said, "Online games are not counted, what works have you been adapted into stand-alone works in your impression?" Among them, which are the online literary works with high prices of film and television IP? ”

Du Sitong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then thought for a moment with his memory, but he couldn't think of it much. In the end, I only remembered one or two adaptations of the male novel network...... Then she realized that neither of the two works she remembered had been adapted for film and television.

Lin Shu said: "Because of the disorder of the copyright market in the past ten years, stand-alone games have been affected the most. Film, television or novels are still preserved in the original survival place, but the new industry of single-player games has hardly been protected. In addition to the role-playing category that is retained because of its wide audience, domestic strategy, development, management, and action ...... It's all almost gone. At present, the domestic player base relies on Europe and the United States to feed the action class, Japan and South Korea to feed the business development, and the strategy relies on the two to feed together. Of course, after the copyright is grabbed in the future, there is no doubt that the stand-alone market will recover, but it will take time. Until the market recovers, most emotional novels will not have the opportunity to be adapted into stand-alone films. And for now, we have the best choice - do you say, between having and not, between nothing and less, is it better to have nothing at all, or is it better to have at least copyright or popularity income despite the small income? ”

Du Sitong thought for a while and said, "Lin Shu, you say this, I believe it." But I don't think everybody thinks so. There are always people who value practical benefits more. ”

Lin Shu smiled and said, "That's why you need Teacher Du to convince the other party." This process of analyzing the benefits and disadvantages, reaching cooperation, and creating a win-win situation depends on you, Mr. Du. ”

050:

That's a daunting task.

But Du Sitong bit his pen and thought about it, and felt that he was not completely unfinished, so he said: "I'll go back and think about how to talk to the other party." ”

After that, several people discussed some details of the future work, and the meeting was over.

Lin Shu arranged what he needed to do next, and his mood was a little lighter. After completing some of the new engine mod planning, I went on the game of "Nine Heavens".

As a result, as soon as he started the game, he received an email.

"Are you there?"

Lin Shu glanced at it and found that it was a sword Lingyun. He was a little surprised why the other party suddenly became private, but he still responded: "Yes." ”

Yijian Lingyun gave him an instant messaging software ID and asked him to add himself.

After Lin Shu added it, he saw that Yijian Lingyun quickly sent him a video request. Lin Shu was stunned for a moment, immediately refused, and then typed: "What is this for?" ”

A sword Lingyun said: "Turn on the video, there is something." ”

Lin Shu said: "I don't have a camera here, just say it directly." ”

Yijian Lingyun said: "It doesn't matter if you don't have a camera, as long as you can see it-what I promised, I will definitely do it." ”

Lin Shu didn't understand what he was talking about.

But after hesitating for a while, he turned off the camera and accepted the video invitation.

In this case, Lin Shu could see the situation on the side of the First Sword Lingyun, but the First Sword Lingyun could not see the situation on Lin Shu's side.

And through the guΓ² video, Lin Shu saw the appearance of a sword Lingyun. It was a young man of about ten * years old, with angular features, but his face was pale. He looked at the screen, his eyes stared straight at the center of the screen, and at first contact, Lin Shu almost mistakenly thought that he was looking at himself.

There was a cardboard box in front of the young man, and the young man's face was stern, and the strict Cheng dΓΉ made Lin Shu have the illusion that he was actually a little blue.

But soon Lin Shu found out that it was not actually an illusion.

The young man frowned and opened the carton. The moment he saw the items in the carton, Lin Shu felt that the young man was crazy, and then typed: "Are you sick?" ”

Yijian Lingyun said: "I said what I promised, and I will definitely do it." ”

Lin Shu's expression was tense, and he thought about it for a while before he remembered what Yijian Lingyun was talking about.

Before the last game of the trial ground PK began, Yijian Lingyun boasted that he would definitely win Lin Shu, and if he couldn't win, he would eat Xiang live. Lin Shu remembered that at the end of the game, there were onlookers who coaxed Lingyun at Yijian and asked him to fulfill his promise.

But that's just a joke and nonsense, at least that's what Lin Shu thinks, and he thinks that most of the people who are coaxing can't be serious, they are just deliberately teasing Lingyun.

The only thing I didn't expect was that Yijian Lingyun himself took such a sentence seriously.

Lin Shu typed, "Are you sick?" This kind of thing is taken as a promise, and you still want to actually do it? What is the point of this 'promise' not being fulfilled? And I haven't asked for such a stupid promise, can I ask you not to be mentally ill? ”

He was not in a hurry when he typed, but his attitude was really unceremonious. Lin Shu didn't care that his attitude would anger the other party, because he didn't care how the other party would react.

Yijian Lingyun didn't expect Lin Shu to speak so politely. He was silent for a long time, and then said: "Maybe it doesn't matter to you, but for me, what I said and promised is strict, and I will definitely achieve it." ”

Lin Shu listened, but paused before asking him, "If you say you'll do it?" ”

A sword Lingyun said: "One word." ”

- Stupid to death.

Thinking like this, Lin Shu said: "Then suppose that if you are ...... Well, let's say a female friend asks for one thing. Let me think about it, for example, to go to the game character of a scumbag who cheated on her feelings, you promised, but then found out that your friend's words are actually subjective thoughts, the other party has a girlfriend and has never concealed it, and your friend is the one who tries to snatch love. In this case, will you continue to turn white? ”

Yijian Lingyun saw it, but he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

After a while, he replied, "These two things are different. ”

Lin Shu asked, "What's the difference?" ”

Yijian Lingyun thought for a moment before saying, "Since it was a misunderstanding, of course it shouldn't continue." ”

Lin Shu said: "But you promised your friend. ”

Yijian Lingyun said: "This kind of promise is inherently wrong. If it's wrong, why should I persevere to the end!? ”

Lin Shu said: "If you can't win, you can live broadcast and eat Xiang, is that right?" Then he continued, "Can you get the box out of the way first?" ”

A sword in the clouds: "......"

With an embarrassed expression, he took the box to the side where he couldn't see it.

Lin Shu continued to type: "You want to eat, I don't want to watch it yet." ”

Yijian Lingyun saw the rumors, and immediately said with a distorted face: "Who wants to eat it!?" It's just to keep the promise. ”

Lin Shu said: "Then who did you make an appointment with to show whom, anyway, I haven't made this agreement with you." Then he hung up the video.

Yijian Lingyun was stunned for a moment, but quickly typed and said to Lin Shu: "If my words don't count, maybe I will be laughed at by relatives and friends for a lifetime in the future." ”

Lin Shu: "Then broadcast live to your relatives and friends." They can show it to whoever they want. ”

A sword Lingyun is not happy.

Most of his relatives and friends are bad friends, he was teased and provoked, and he used this thing to tease and tease all day, he was unhappy, how could he put such a big handle in the hands of others.

Lin Shu felt that the second phase of his secondary school was not over.

He said, "Your friend is joking with you, is that serious?" ”

Yijian Lingyun said: "If I go back on my word, I will lose face." ”

…… Would you rather live broadcast and eat Xiang to maintain face? Lin Shu raised his forehead, thinking that he was wasting his time, what was he doing? He continued typing: "Then ask your relatives and friends who want to watch the live broadcast!" Whoever wants to watch it will broadcast it live to the other party, so that the other party will know that you are a man who is conclusive and has promises. ”

The sword Lingyun suddenly didn't react. Lin Shu waited for a while without waiting for a reply, then closed the chat box and continued to upgrade to do tasks.

As a result, it wasn't until after dinner that Lin Shu found out that Yijian Lingyun had sent him a message again, saying, "Is it still there?" ”

"I'm back."

Yijian Lingyun quickly sent him another request.

Lin Shu hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the request.

But I saw that what was already in front of Ling Yun was not a cardboard box, but a snow-white flat-bottomed porcelain plate, and a chocolate-colored Xiang-shaped cake was placed on it.

Lin Shu: "......"

He complained: "You really don't give up if you don't broadcast live." ”

Having said that, it has finally changed from a piece of Zhenxiang to a piece of chocolate cake, and it no longer has such a strict visual impact and mental damage as before, so Lin Shu did not hang up the video call again.

But I heard someone next to me sneering and said: "n (Japanese: sorry sorry), he's a pure idiot, brainless, we didn't expect him to really want to live broadcast Xiang, and cause trouble to you Cangshan God." ”

At the same time, an arm stretched out from the side of Yijian Lingyun, and wrapped an arm around Yijian Lingyun's neck, and then a young man with wheat-colored skin squeezed his face into the camera and showed a big smile at Lin Shu.

It turned out that Yijian Lingyun really went to ask later, and his cautious attitude shocked the original group of hippie smiling guys, and successfully harvested a basket of "Are you not taking medicine today" questions.

When they finally knew that Yijian Lingyun really came to Lin Shu to try to broadcast live to the other party, a group of friends were stunned. Some said, "No, I have to keep my distance from this guy to show my innocence", and the other part thought that Lin Shu was really unlucky, so they decided to take Yijian Lingyun over to prove that everyone's mental state was normal except for Yijian Lingyun, and it was not a dangerous group that had recently escaped from Qingshan Hospital.

And the dark-skinned youth is the representative. His game name is October Autumn Wind Frost Washing Knife, his home address is only a small street away from a sword Lingyun, the two are junior high school classmates, high school alumni, and the current university is also the same, which is a very good friend.

He apologized to Lin Shu instead of Yijian Lingyun, and Lin Shu was not hypocritical, and replied: "Don't let people out to be scary, to be honest, I really felt disgusting when I saw that lump, although it was still separated from the screen." ”

October Autumn Wind scratched his head, glanced at his friends with a complicated look, and said happily: "It can be imagined. Luckily, I had already asked him to throw things away when I came. ”

Lin Shu expressed his appreciation: "Very witty. ”

"I think so too." After October Qiufeng finished saying this, he said to Lin Shu again, "Then so be it." Cangshan God, you can come to our guild with your friends at any time if you have time. Now let this idiot get rid of this shit. ”

A sword Lingyun said angrily: "Who is the idiot? ”

The autumn wind of October said: "Who should be whom." ”

Lingyun was stunned by a sword, and suddenly stopped talking. Then he took the spoon, poked a piece of chocolate crust with a spoonful, and put it in his mouth.

After eating this bite, he suddenly said, "Actually, I feel very disgusting too." Isn't this a can't get off the stage? Then he turned his head and glared at his friend, and complained, "Who is the victim of that?" ”

Which bastards have been sensationalizing and egging him on to "walk the talk"?

The autumn wind in October looks innocently at the sky.

A sword Lingyun hatefully bit down a piece of cake and chewed it and swallowed it, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Cangshan, thank you." ”

Lin Shu didn't know what he was thanking for, but guessed that it was probably because he had prevented the other party from getting sick, so he replied, "No thanks." ”

As a result, when he went online the next day, he found that a sword Lingyun had sent him a growth-type spirit-level weapon.
